Tested this spray on short-hair and long-haired kittens. They seemed fine. An older cat sneezed and began heavily drooling, but other than that, he seems fine.The fleas made a mad-dash to the face; even a gloved fingertip laced with the stuff was enough to deter them and cause them to slow down before they stopped moving. It took a couple of these finger swipes to get them, but some were too fast for me.I also sprayed a box a cat loved to frequent, and a hidden flea popped up right after. I should have had my phone on me to prove the effectiveness of this product while I watched it squirm around in a short circle over and over before ultimately stopping. It were a larger one, too. The spray must’ve hit that flea so hard, it didn’t know which way it were going.I were skeptical about trying this brand, due to the main ingredient being cedar-related. The first flea spray I ever tried was “Cedarcide”. All it did was slow a flea down for a bit, or lure them out towards the cats’ faces where I frantically had to comb/pluck them out bit by bit if I could catch them.Next, I tried Vet’s Best. It didn’t seem to do much, and it scared me to use it in the home and on the cats due to the peppermint, but they turned out perfectly okay. But there were still fleas and they were multiplying fast.I kept cleaning/spraying around the house with different anti-flea brands, washing fabrics and grooming the cats, feeding them flea preventative chews and giving them baths; nothing seemed to work, my arms were getting mega scratched up by multiple unhappy wet and soapy cats, and I was about to give up. I were skeptical to try Wondercide’s cedar spray due to, now, knowing cedar oil only repelled fleas and did not get rid of them. But, now I’m surprised.The cats knew it were helping them, but they still did not enjoy it. For one of the long-hairs, the best example this stuff were actually doing something was whenever I would comb that kitty after a spraying/bath, massive globs of flea dirt and rapidly moving fleas would immediately catch my eye. This time, the usual mass of flea dirt were lifted away, but NONE of the fleas were moving. That was great enough proof for me!And when I sprayed flat surfaces that appeared to have, what I guess, were teeny tiny flea eggs, they practically exploded—as in, most of them were there one second then gone the next as if they just dissolved away. A few still remained, but overall, things seem A LOT BETTER after emptying more than half the bottle along the environment and on multiple cats. The aftermath left them with sticky/clammy-feeling fur though.There have been a grand total of about 2 scratches had from 2 different cats at fleas I might have missed, as of yet. It’s still too soon for me to cast a final definitive verdict, but so far so good. I wish I had tons more of this stuff, now!!!Update: Two days later, after the extra strong aroma calmed down, some fleas reappeared seemingly out of thin air, again!🤣 Thankfully, nowhere near the usual amount. And no more flea eggs have fallen, in plain sight, so far.—Review for the larger version:Despite the pricey cost, so far, this still has been the only topical treatment that seems to actually help!As I’d originally bought the regular smaller size, after spraying the majority of two stories, the stuff was already less than half by the time I got to the cats. With this larger bottle, there was plenty left over afterward! I were able to not only spray the cats, but to do so for two different days. It were wild watching some of the fleas fall right off.Overall, this Wondercide brand is a bit hit or miss? But is still mostly effective. After spraying, once again, the cats tended to not scratch for a stretch of hours—then once they do, upon inspection, new fleas seemed to have spawned out of the ether. Even when the cat had remained in roughly the same spot or area—magically, a sudden fresh batch appears. At least, the size of this new horde is, again, typically far more meager, in comparison—but it still causes me to frown deeper than M. Bison, and think a thundering: ‘H O W ?!!!!???!!! WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?!!?’ Haha.As previously mentioned , the cats absolutely detest being sprayed, but they recognize that this stuff must do more good than not for them, as they readily accept what is to occur next when they see me pick up the bottle—compared to how much they’d try to scratch my head off, while I’m holding them, if they so much as glance at a tub or sink of water. So, I’d call that a win.It’s great seeing them able to nap or play, and not need to scratch for a while—but once that hind leg eventually goes up, sometime later in the day, that disheartens me and has me wonder if maybe there is some temporary itch-numbing occurring as opposed to a full-on specific flea clear out by the ingredients.I’ve no idea, but this stuff is the closest we’ve been to a flea-triumphant victory, so far. I’m not happy about that $30+ price tag, but it is lasting longer than the regular size—for me, anyway. It’s also genius marketing: have the biggest size cost an outrageous $100+, the smaller $20+, and the middle-sized one that is actually set up to be THE preferred purchase choice, is only ten bucks more? That makes the middle one the star decision, IMO. Welp, it worked! Haha.Oh, and this time, flea eggs have fallen across surfaces again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wondercide Works!!!

I have been using Wondercide (Lemongrass) on my dog "Sam" for 2 years now, and it really works!!! I never wanted to give my dog any type of chemical based protection, so I went the natural way. I tried a few other all natural protectants from other companies, and they did nothing. I heard about Wondercide, and I gave it a try! Two years later, and I am going to order another bottle. Sam hates to be sprayed, but I tell him that it is for his own good, and I think he understands! I have been using the Lemongrass scented spray, and it is very strong smelling, but it works!!! Springtime here in Northern Michigan is a pain, as the ticks come out of hibernation, and they are hungry!!! Thanks to Wondercide, my worries are less now! I only spray Sam about every 3 or 4 days as the effects last long. As long as he smells like a lemon, I know that it is working. I am going to try the Peppermint scented spray this time, so he can smell like a candy cane, Lol. Since using Wondercide, I only notice a tick here and there on Sam, and it is in areas that I may not have treated well. Hey, don't underestimate ticks. They are smart and they climb trees, and drop on you from above. I have seen them on the ceiling, and if you have an overhang on the porch, they can drop on you from there. When they are hungry, they will find you!!! Wondercide is the only thing that really works!!! I have spent too many dollars on other things, and they didn't do crap!!!! Sam is much happier, and I am too!!! I have not seen any fleas on Sam either. If you don't want to put your pets life at risk by using these chemical based products, that can kill your pet, then I strongly recommend giving Wondercide a try!!! You won't be sorry!!! I spray Sam around the body, and then rub it into his fur. Avoid the genital area, and do not spray it in their face! I spray some in my hand, and gently rub it around the face area. Your pet will thank you!!!! Now days too many companies claim to be able to keep your pet safe from critters, but they are only looking at the profits that they can make, and not what is actually good for your pet!!!! Well, one more time I will say, try Wondercide and I think that you and your pet will find happiness!!!
